Lyrics Underneath The Falls - The Handsome Family

The green one sleeps
Underneath the falls
Deep in the roar of water
He slowly dreams the world
And those who venture close
To that shadow ′neath the sea,
They fall asleep forever
In the eddy of the reeds
Don't listen, don′t listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the whisper in the falls
On the first summer nights
The windows open wide
The world expands in darkness
Black waters rushing by
There are hunters in the hedges
There are whispers in the green
The soaking mud is hungry
Closer now it seeps
Don't listen, don't listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the hissing in the walls
Be careful summer nights
Keep the windows closed
Outside the yard is crawling
The heavy branches bow
In heat the world remembers
When all rushed with the sea
In heat the old waves rise again
To claim what has crawled free
Don′t listen, don′t listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the one beneath the falls
Don't listen, don′t listen to the call
Turn away, away, from the one beneath the falls
